1952 Map of Branch Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Los Padres National Forest anchors this mid-century topographic study, where the peaks of the Santa Lucia Range and Sierra Madre Mountains converge at the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara county line. The landscape is defined by remote ranching outposts such as Avenales Ranch and Gline Ranch, reflecting a period when seasonal water sources like Agua Escondida Spring and Machado Spring were vital for local agriculture and livestock. In the south, the Cuyama River cuts through the Cuyama Valley, flanked by the San Rafael Mts. Notable landmarks like Pine Canyon Guard Sta and the elevated summits of Stanley Mtn and Miranda Pine Mtn suggest a landscape primarily managed for conservation and range, accessible only via a network of jeep trails and canyons like Thirty-five Canyon.
